Hello, I had at one point in my life 2 dogs, 2 cats, huge 100 gallon Koi tank, roses, tomatoes all in a tiny apartment in New York. It's been awhile that I had so many things at one time now that I have a child. Just 1 cat now. I loved having dogs around but not the responsibility of owning one. This job would give me the satisfaction of taking care of your dog without actually owning one so it's a win win. Dogs are so much more interactive than a cat. I would love to have the opportunity to walk your dog or take care of your cat. Your pets would be in good hands with me and my 8 year old. Thanks!
